There is a Valve.
You can add four titles to the list that will work on day one, even though there are still many unknowns. On Friday, Valve said that all of the games now have working BattlEye anti-cheat support. The compatibility layer of the Linux operating system allows users to play Ark: Survival Evolved and Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord without the anti-cheat software causing issues.
The compatibility list is only made up of four new titles, which is a small addition, especially when you consider that BattlEye integration on Proton had progressed to the point where all a developer had to do was contact the company to enable the feature within their game. The current list doesn't include some of the most popular online games on Steam, including the likes of Rainbow Six Siege. We still don't have a full picture of all the games that will work with Steam Deck's Linux-based operating system, but that's something Valve promised to clear up through a new verification program before the handheld launches in early 2022.
